On-Premise Gateway technical question

Hi,

 

I Need info how to refresh dashbord that its dataset built from 2 different data sources.

 

Explenation:

My power bi desktop report is getting data from 2 servers xxxxxxx.150 & Server xxxxxxx.172.

I published the report to PBI online->Created dashboard and now I would like to schadual refresh.

 

I already have gateway installed on xxxxxxx.150 for different dashboard that already uses this gateway,

What should I do in case of 2 servers connection in my new dashboard?

    Gateway is for Power BI Service to get your on-premise machine, you should install on-premise gateway on each server which hosts your data source, so you also need to install On-premise gateway on xxxxxxx.172 machine.

      I know I need to download gatway to xxx.172, but should I use the same gateway name I use on xxx.150?

      Should I create new gatway ?.

       

      How should I manage the gatway cluste?. what Should I do in order to scaduale refresh to my report for both data sources?.

       

      I need a bit help and guidance with understanding how it works.

       

      thank you.

        It will be different gateway name and then powerbi service, you will create data source under each gateway. Once it is done, your report will able to reach to your db using each gateway and at that point it will allow you to schedule data refresh.
